Simple Balsamic Glazed Caprese Salad

Jersey tomatoes are here and I am in heaven. How do I like my tomatoes? They are so good eaten with just a bit of sea salt but let me count the ways. The Caprese salad has always been a simple favorite of mine. I make this in various forms and love it as a pasta salad. But then there are stuffed tomatoes, pico de gallo, and cherry tomato on skewers. You get the picture…..I love fresh Jersey tomatoes.

Another thing I love is balsamic glaze. I have gotten into the habit of putting it on everything. Move over ketchup as this works well on sandwiches, roasted veggies, salads, chicken and fish. I can’t get enough of the stuff and I always grab a few inexpensive bottles at Trader Joes.

This salad is great to serve when you have company. The colors make it a pretty dish yet it is so easy to put together. So go ahead and make this salad. Then ask someone to pass the balsamic.
